A Simple Question About Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and a Brief Irrefutable Answer!

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Scholars of Islam.

 

Question to Al-Allaamah Shaikh Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him):

”Why is there so much speech about Shaikh Rabee (may Allaah preserve him) and why do they speak ill of him?”

Answer:

How excellent a man he is in his creed and jealousy for the Sunnah! And there is no doubt that those who speak against him do so because he refutes those who oppose the Sunnah.  They hate him because he refutes the opposers. And perhaps the one who does not oppose (the Sunnah) envies him because he cautions against what that person does not realize.  How excellent a man in knowledge and religion!

Whoever sits with ahlul bidah is not safe from one of three calamities! By Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawri

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

Imaam Sufyaan Ath-thawri (rahimahullaah) said:

The one who sits with a person of innovation is not safe from one of three (affairs): ”[1] Either he becomes a trial for other than himself; [2] Or something of (misguidance) falls into his heart, so he slips by way of that and Allaah enters him into the hell fire; [3] or he says: By Allaah, I don’t care what they say because I am sure of myself;” but whoever feels safe about his religion (without Allaah’s guidance, protection etc) in the twinkling of an eye, it will be snatched away from him.”

[1] Acquainting Ourselves With Some of The Scholars of The Salaf and Their Books

Hammaad Bin Salamah (rahimahullaah)

He is Hammaad Bin Salamah Bin Deenaar, Abu Salamah Al-Basree–the protégé of the household of Rabee Bin Maalik Ibn Handhala from the Bani Tameem clan. He was born in the year 91AH and died on Tuesday the 19th of Dhul Hijjah in the year 167AH.  He was an Imaam in the science of recitation (of the Qur’aan etc); an Imaam in Hadeeth; an Imaam in the (Arabic) language; an eloquent jurist; an Imaam in the Sunnah and the first of those who authored books.  Abu Haatim Ibn Hibbaan (rahimahullaah) said about him: ‘’There were not amongst the contemporaries of Hammaad Bin Salamah at Basra someone like him in virtue, (uprightness) in the religion, in piety, knowledge, authorship, in gathering and compiling knowledge, firmness upon the Sunnah and in subduing the people of bidah. And none defamed him during his time except a Mu’tazilee Qadaree or a Jahmee innovator, due to what he manifested of the authentic Sunnah which was rejected by the Mutazilah.  Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’If you see a man jeering at Hammaad Bin Salamah, then suspect his Islaam (i.e. such a person is upon some sort of deviation), because he was harsh against the innovators.  And indeed Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) provided (evidence establishing) that Hammaad Ibn Salamah authored a book on the (topic of) Asmaa Was Sifaat.

Muhammad Bin Salaam (rahimahullaah)

He is Muhammad Bin Salaam Ibn Al-Farj Abu Abdillaah Al-Beekandiy.  He was born in the year 161AH and died on Sunday 8th in the month of Safar 225AH.  He was a Shaikh of (Imaam) Bukhaari and he narrated from him in his Saheeh (i.e. Saheeh Al-Bukhaari).  He was from those given comprehension in knowledge and he was from the Imaams of the Athar (i.e. possessors’ of knowledge of the ahaadeeth and the narrations of the Sahaabah).

Muhammad Ibn Ahmad An-Najjaar (rahimahullaah) said: ”Ibn Salaam had authorships in every sphere of knowledge (i.e. knowledge of the sharia).”

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) mentioned his (Ibn Salaam’s) Book [titled: As-Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah] in Al-Fataawaa Al-Kubraa 5/4140].   Shaikh Abdus Salaam Burgess (rahimahullaah) stated that Ibn Salaam’s biography can be found in [سيراعلام نبلاء10/656]

Abu Ubaid Ibn Al-Qaasim Bin Salaam

He (rahimahullaah) was a roman slave. Shaikh Abdus Salaam Burgess said: Neither his lineage nor his family being Non-Arab harmed him, for he was one of the pillars of knowledge of the sharia and a linguist. He was born in the year 159AH and died in the year 224AH.  He used to divide the night into three parts–he prayed in the first, slept in the second and wrote books in the third.

Al-Ameer Abdullaah Ibn Taahir-the Ameer of khuraasaan-said: The (distinguished) people are four (in their specific eras); Ibn Abbaas in his era, Ash-Shabee in his era, Al-Qaasim ibn Ma’n in his era and Abu Ubaid in his era.

(Imaam) Ahmad (rahimahullah) said: Abu Ubaid is an Ustaadh.

(Imaam) Daaraqutni (rahimahullah) said: ‘’He (i.e. Abu Ubaid) is a trustworthy Imaam and a mountain (of knowledge).

His book (Al-Eemaan) was disseminated by Shaikh Albaanee (rahimahullah).

An Act of Forbearance and Self-Restraint – [Ahnaf Bin Qais]

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Ahnaf Ibn Qais was from the people of intelligence and eloquence, and from the notables of the people of Basra.  Ibnul Mubaarak (rahimahullaah) said: A man abused Al-Ahnaf, so when he (i.e. the man) finished, he (i.e. Ahnaf) said, ”Allaah concealed much more (than what you said).”

Ibnul Mubaarak (rahimahullaah) was asked about the statement of Luqmaan [alayhis-salaam]: ”If speech is from silver, then silence is from gold”. So he (Ibnul Mubaarak) said, ”It means that if speech in obedience to Allaah is from silver, then silence (in keeping away from) disobedience to Allaah is gold”.

Abu Wahb Al-Marwazee (rahimahullaah) said that he asked Abdullaah Ibnul Mubaarak (rahimahullaah) about pride”, so he said, ”It is to mock at the people”.  And he asked him about self-amazement, so he said, ”It is to consider yourself as having something not possessed by others”.

Among The Fruits of One’s Certainty That He (or She) Will Return To Allaah

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on . Posted in Belief - 'Aqeedah', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ

الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو رَبِّهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

And seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer) and truly it is extremely heavy and hard except for Al-Khashi’un [i.e. the true believers in Allah – those who obey Allah with full submission, fear much from His Punishment, and believe in His Promise (Paradise, etc.) and in His Warnings (Hell, etc.)]. (They are those) who are certain that they are going to meet their Lord, and that unto Him they are going to return. [2:45-46]

[الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو رَبِّهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ- (They are those) who are certain that they are going to meet their Lord, and that unto Him they are going to return]: They are certain that they are going to meet their Lord in order to be recompensed for their deeds and that to Him is their return. This is what makes acts of worship easy for them, obligates solace on them during calamities, gives them relief in times of distress and turns them away from evil deeds (i.e. by the Tawfeeq of Allaah).
